A Message from the Club President We’ve been having a great summer in our world of Tigard Kiwanis. It’s good to have this newsletter to record all that’s happened and all we’re looking forward to doing in the upcoming months. I’m thrilled with the teamwork and individual contributions made towards the recent Salmon Barbecue, making it a very successful event; FUN & FUNdraising for Kiwanis Doernbecher Children’s Cancer Program. Can we top that next year? Getting a stronger connection to the youth of the community through Key Club involvement may be a way to grow our positive impact to the kids of our community and to our club itself. We’ve made several leaps forward in the last two months. We all need to support these efforts, however we can. As I write this, I’m on a clear liquid diet and am really quite hungry – more than usual. So, the prospects of a Division Council picnic/potluck, and a club “fifth Wednesday social” have me thrilled! Along with all our good works with Packed with Pride and the Good Neighbor Center that we continue to do for feeding the less fortunate children of the Tigard area, we’re starting to think about the next Kiwanis year and what more could we possibly do. One idea that’s come to my attention is the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. Look this over: https://imaginationlibrary.com/usa/. Early reading and books for those aged 0 to 5 years seems possibly very impactful to our future. A quick look at the numbers shows funding this as an ongoing project is a BIG stretch for us. But maybe, just maybe, we can get out and do this; or we can attempt some other new high-impact project. I think many in the community will help us. Let’s finish this Kiwanis year with some good social interaction, (and food), but stay hungry for achieving more together to serve our local youth.
